Choosing Your Juice

The best hard cider is made from sweet apple cider fresh from the cider
press - whether your own, or a local cider mill's. You can also use 100%
fresh apple juice. If you're buying sweet cider or apple juice, start
by checking the label to be sure the cider doesn't contain chemical
preservatives, because these will kill your yeast and your cider will
not ferment. (The cider is chemically preserved if sodium benzoate or
potassium sorbate are listed on the label.) Your best bet for
preservative-free cider is to buy it in season from a local orchard. In a
pinch, you can also make hard cider with grocery store apple juice, as
long as it doesn't have preservatives.

Also, be aware that most commercial cidermakers are required to
pasteurize their cider, and the process they use will affect the flavor.
Preferably, your sweet cider should be cold pasteurized, which kills
microorganisms with ultraviolet light. The usual method of
pasteurization kills microorganisms with heat, which affects the flavor
of the juice. If you're not sure which method a local cider mill uses,
it doesn't hurt to ask.

Legal Disclaimer

Home brewing of ciders, beer and wine is legal in the United States, and you are allowed to brew up to 100 gallons a year per person in your household over the age of 21, up to 200 gallons. State laws may vary, and in some states home brewing is illegal.

You are not allowed to sell anything you brew at home. Home brewing is not distilling, (moonshining), which is most definitely illegal, and a Federal Offense. This information is intended for those of legal age to consume alcohol.

I received this as a birthday present and loved it! Excellent flavor to this stuff. So cool that you can make this stuff at home. If I can create this brew then anybody can. There are 5 gallons of hard cider getting ready for my Christmas party!
